@x5Alpine, I feel like we've had this conversation before. But I will reiterate, I'm an enthusiast and not a dismantler. These cars are rare and becoming scarce, anyone who is in possession of one and passionate about it likely needs parts. Cars in this condition are not worth saving, I'd rather get parts to people who need them for their cars. The 4.6 motor is ultra rare and people are putting them into other E53s as well as e38s and e39s for some extra muscle. Yes, this one seems to have had a rough life, but only towards the end. Here's a listing for the car two years ago that I found by searching its VIN:

Buy used NO RESERVE ALL POWER NAVIGATION M SPORT PKG 4.6 IS SPORT SEATS WHEELS RADAR AWD in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States

There's nice ones still left out there, hopefully those are taken care of and preserved. This is not the one to save.
